Widget description

An inwin is a window inside a window that is useful for a quick popup. It does not hover.

It works by creating an object that will occupy the entire window, so it must be created using an Window as parent only. The inwin object can be hidden or restacked below every other object if it’s needed to show what’s behind it without destroying it. If this is done, the activate() function can be used to bring it back to full visibility again.

Available styles

  • default The inwin is sized to take over most of the window it’s placed in.

  • minimal The size of the inwin will be the minimum necessary to show its contents.

  • minimal_vertical Horizontally, the inwin takes as much space as possible, but it’s sized vertically the most it needs to fit its contents.
